Mr. Oliver. The exact quotation is, “I do not know whether Oswald was paid by the CIA but I hear there was testimony before the Warren Commission that he was.”
Mr. Jenner. And from what source, on what source did you base the statement that you heard that there was testimony before the Warren Commission that he was?
Mr. Oliver. Principally, although not exclusively, an article, again by Henshaw in the National Enquirer at about the time that Earl Warren made his statement that the findings would not be released during the lifetime of the people then living.
Mr. Jenner. If you will pardon my correcting you, even that newspaper account didn’t say that the Chief Justice said that the findings of the Commission would not be released.
Mr. Oliver. That the “full truth” wasn’t that it?
Mr. Jenner. I think not. It will be quoted in the report. This occurred a long time ago, and I have forgotten just what it was.
Mr. Oliver. Yes, this is in the National Enquirer for March 3, 1964.
Mr. Jenner. Could I identify that and then return it to you when we have made a copy?
That is either a photostat or a Xerox reprint that is marked Oliver Exhibit No. 7. It is entitled—The particular article by John Henshaw, “Washington Pipeline by John Henshaw,” and then the heading is “Moscow plotted JFK assassination—U.S. Government financed Oswald,” place-lined Washington, D.C.
Does that summarily describe the exhibit?
